My HTC one m7 is getting very glitchy and slow. I've tried resets and clearing stuff off but need to face the fact that it might have had its day.

As I keep phones longer than average, I'm thinking pixel 2 as it's supported for 3 years and has the cleanest slickest software.

However, found some YouTube stuff if a guy who does some destructive physical testing of new handsets and the Galaxy S8 looks a lot more robust and durable than the Pixel.

Anyone have any thoughts or experience?

Invest in a really good hard case over paying a premium on the phone....

(Unless you really want features....)

On that note - I really really rate the Mous phone cases. I got my first one based on their admittedly over-the-top kickstarter campaign (dropping them from bridges and stuff), but have since equipped both my daughters with their phone cases too. A bit more expensive than usual eBay/Amazon case, but touch wood we haven’t had a cracked screen in two years, and both my daughters are a renowned for finding the hardest surfaces to drop their phones on to.

You can't beat buying a quality case. Otterbox Defender series are tough.

I'm okay at looking after the handset. After 4 years or so, this HTC looks pretty much brand new.

Maybe one of these:

There's a newer one, Armor X, with better display but different spec.
